2016 City of Derry Masters Swimming Gala
30th January at the City Baths
William Street
Derry
Please find attached the information for our Gala.
The skins event proved very popular so will be kept in the programme for this year.
The top 5 male and females in the 50m free event will be invited to take part in swim offs
until only 1 swimmer is left. A cash prize of £60.00 will be awarded on the day to the
winners, one male and one female.
As usual the prize money will be £60.00 for breaking an already existing Irish record with
the number of prizes for records capped at 3 per individual. Swimmers must be registered
with SI and the records will have to be ratified by the recorder for SI and SU and the other
regions. It is up to the swimmers to claim their records.
The evening function is at the Maldron Hotel. Our evening entertainment will be provided
by yourselves in the form of the back to back. I hope more teams take part this year, it’s
just a bit of craic and you might even win a few pound!! This is followed by music and
dancing. A buffet style meal will be served.
Entries can be sent by post or email. Payment can be accepted on the day.
